Korean BBQ

A few years ago hubby and I attended one of my vendor's bowling parties at this mom and pop old school bowling alley in Montrose. For these of you wondering where Montrose is it's about 10 minutes north on the 2 freeway. The party was a fun time so we went again and again, as the bowling party was an annual event for my vendor.

Was it fate? Anyhow, each year we ended up sitting next to the same couple when it came time to grub on food. And each year we would chat the evening away with the couple. Eventually, someone had the great idea of getting together outside of the bowling party and that is how we meet our friends Verona and Dave. For a few years now, we have been getting together with them and their family.

They like to call hubby and I their kids even though they have a daughter near our age and an adopted son who is in college. After hanging out with them so much we kind of feel like part of their family. We even met Verona's mom at a Fake Neil Diamond Concert the other night. The thing I can appreciate about Verona and Dave is their sense of fun and that is why I like them so much. I can only hope when I am older I can have ask much fun as they do together.

Their daughter, Bree, who is a couple years younger than us invited us to Sunday dinner yesterday. Apparently she was introducing her folks to Korean BBQ for the first time and wanted to know if we wanted to be part of the fun. Of course I had to be part of the experience only to see Dave try and use chopsticks! So we accepted her invitation and joined the family in Ktown a.k.a. Korean Town for Sunday dinner. We even meet a new family member, one of their cousins.

It was Brian's first time at Korean BBQ and my second time. My first experience was just okay and I really didn't think I would try it again but I guess all things need a second chance to shine. So thus, I accepted the invitation to spend time with my friends rather then eat BBQ. But all ended well because not only did I have a lot of great laughs with my friends but my second time at Korean BBQ was awesome and I am glad I gave the food a second chance. Here are some photos our night out:

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
